Virginia's Question 3, if passed, would amend the state constitution to allow individuals convicted of felonies to have their right to vote restored following their release from incarceration. Currently in Virginia, a person convicted of a felony can only have their right to vote reinstated on an individual basis by the governor, a process that the individual must initiate. As of 2024, approximately 260,000 people in Virginia were disenfranchised from voting as a result of a felony conviction.
